The Bigger Picture At Andromeda Robotics, we’re not just imagining the future of human-robot relationships; we’re building it. Abi is the first emotionally intelligent humanoid companion robot, designed to bring care, conversation, and joy to the people who need it most. Backed by investors such as Forerunner and Main Sequence and with customers already deploying Abi across aged care and healthcare, we’re scaling fast, and we’re doing it with an engineering-first culture that’s obsessed with pushing the limits of what’s possible. This is an opportunity to work on cutting-edge, real-world robotics hardware where test quality and reliability directly shape the experience of customers and residents. You’ll help turn promising designs into robust products that can operate safely and reliably outside the lab. The Role We’re looking for a Hardware Reliability & Test Engineer to own the verification, validation and reliability engineering activities that help Andromeda ship dependable robotic systems. You’ll work across mechanical, electrical, firmware, software, safety, manufacturing and supply chain to translate product and system requirements into defining test strategies, designing and building test fixtures, outlining ongoing test procedures, and analyzing and communicating results and recommended design changes. You’ll plan and execute lab and line reliability testing across prototype, EVT, DVT, production intent and manufacturing sustaining phases, using data and failure analysis to drive design improvements. This is a hands-on engineering role with meaningful technical ownership. You’ll spend time in the lab and on the robot, building test capability, investigating failures, improving test coverage and helping the team make better engineering decisions earlier. Key Responsibilities Own verification, validation, and reliability testing plans for assigned hardware subsystems and product changes, mapping requirements to measurable Test methods and pass/fail criteria. Design, build and maintain Test fixtures, harnesses, instrumentation and procedures for functional, performance, durability and reliability Testing. Plan and execute hardware testing across prototype, EVT, DVT, production-intent and production phases, including cycle testing and long-duration operation. Develop practical Test automation and data-collection workflows that improve repeatability, throughput and visibility of hardware performance. Establish and track manufacturing metrics, including first-pass yield, & final yield, failure modes, production Test coverage, confidence levels and trends across builds. Establish and track reliability metrics, including failure rates, fault modes, confidence levels and trends across a deployed robot fleet. Partner with mechanical and electrical engineers on design reviews, FMEA, risk reduction, design margins, component selection and reliability improvements. Work closely with software and firmware teams to distinguish hardware, software, integration and system-state failure modes, and to validate fixes do not introduce regressions. Produce clear test plans, reports, failure analyses and release evidence that support technical reviews and hardware release decisions.
